CSI Creator Anthony Zuiker -- Divorced So He Can Remarry

EXCLUSIVE

"CSI" creator Anthony Zuiker is officially divorced, even though he and his ex haven't settled their money issues. Thing is ... he needs the divorce STAT so he can get married again.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Zuiker fast-tracked the nasty divorce in order to marry Michelle Territo, the preschool teacher he's been dating for a year. We're told they may tie the knot next month.

We know Anthony, who's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, and ex-wife Jennifer have been in a battle royale over money, and there's a lot of it ... "CSI" has generated more than $6 BILLION.

As we reported, Anthony and Jennifer were married in 1999 with NO pre-nup. Our sources say Jennifer, who is repped by Sorrell Trope, will make out like a bandit.
